Put on a couple hundred miles today in brisk, gusty winds and occasional light rain. I like it better every time I ride.

. . .and with the bags painted

I finally found the time to finish the saddlebags for the 80. Also managed to put flashing (brakes) LEDs in the tail light and some 'cateye' LED lights on the bags. The rest of the story about this bike is over on Chromeheads.

Thanks!

Thank you.

I've seen many RS's with Lester wheels, especially "way back when..."

I like them better even than BMW snowflake wheels which I'm quite fond of. (I've had both.) The Lesters don't seem to be affected as much by gusty crosswinds and they are waaaaay easier to clean as well.

My first '77 RS had them on there when I purchased the bike. I believe I appreciate those Lesters a lot more now than I did thirty years ago when they were common.
